FreshwaterRío Coyhaique, km 8.5 on the Coyhaique Alto road — Simpson, Ñirehuao, Coyhaique, Huemules, Emperador Guillermo and Mañihuales rivers, and nearby lakes

Each day the guides take guests to a different river or lake for brown and rainbow trout, among them the Simpson, Ñirehuao and Mañihuales, with a guide for every one or two anglers and no more than 10 anglers a week. Sage and RIO tackle is lent at no charge.
